Retro Music Friday.

My Sweet Emmise turned sixteen this week. Yep, you read that right. 16. I really don't have much to say about it other than " OH CRAP I'M GETTING OLD ! ".

The Mister and I went over to her parent's house to give her her Sweet 16 birthday gift and have some Birthday cake.

Speaking of her birthday cake, it was hand picked by her and was oh...... whats the word I'm looking for here ? Obscene.

Really.

I'm not kidding.

Wanna see it ??

CLICK HERE.

Oy Vey was that a shit load of cake ( is shit load one word ? I'm not sure... ). They should throw in a free wheel barrow to anyone who buys one. You need it to carry this cake to and from your car. I joked with my Aunt that it was $32 and 32lbs.

At any rate, the song that was number one the week she was born was.....drumroll please........you Gen X'ers out there are gonna feel really old.......

Dreamlover by Mariah Carey.

CRAP I'M OLD !

Not too long ago The Mister and I had related to Emmsie the story of an outing we had when she was probably not quite three years of age. As she was so young at the time she's not remembered this particular outing but was amused by our recounting of it.

Wanna hear it ?

I knew ya did.

When she was not quite three The Mister and I had taken her to a small zoo not far from my parent's house for the afternoon. As we headed back to the car at the end our out outing we had all climbed back in the car to go home. The Mister had still had his Escort at this time and it happened to have a sunroof. As Emmsie had not had any previous experience with a sunroof she was quite fascinated by it. The Mister's sunroof was....umm...... " after market " and actually popped out ( don't worry, it was supposed to do that ) when you undid the latches.

So The Mister and I popped out the sunroof, stood Emmsie's tiny not-quite-three feet on the console between the seats and let her stick her tiny not-quite-three head out of the sunroof. Then we drove around the parking lot at the zoo. Granted we only went four miles an hour and the parking lot was empty, but Emmsie LOVED IT !

She laughed quite a bit...well, or at least as much as a sixteen year old girl can/does laugh, at this story.

She laughed harder when the three of us looked up number one songs by date of birth for her brothers. Turns out her two brothers came into the world to Always by Atlantic Starr and Lost In Your Eyes by Debbie Gibson.

I said to her " Gee Emmsie, I think you made out on that deal. "

She responded with " Shaaa...I think so too. "

Here's looking at you kid.
